Bang! Presenting the Advertlets Bloggers Paintball Tournament!

The year 2009 is going to start off with a bang! (And some splats!) Advertlets is glad to announce that we are the official Online Partner for the most prominent paintball league in Malaysia, the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL) in year 2009!

As part of the activities for the MY-MPL 2009, we are having a special tournament for bloggers! Don’t worry if you haven’t competed before or even played before – the competition is open to prospective Paintballers of all skill levels. (except for pros).

In case you don’t know what Paintball is: Paintball is a game in which players eliminate opponents by hitting them with pellets containing paint (referred to as a “paintball”) usually shot from a carbon dioxide or compressed-gas powered paintball gun (or marker).

It’s not actually as painful as it sounds - it’s not just for the guys – plenty of girls play paintball too! Paintball requires stamina, team work, strategy and psychology in order to win a game, and it’s a whole lot of fun! Those that play online games will notice that has its similiarities to Counter-Strike

Increased Earnings Through Advertlets Select Channels: Youth & Technology

Hi, just a quick note that we will be running lots of new campaigns that target blogs with Youth, as well as Technology related content very soon. So if you’re in your teens, or have a blog that discusses technology, drop us a line at info@advertlets.com or drop a comment on this post.

Advertlets Select campaigns are those that run only on certain blogs that fit the criteria, and not across the network. As they are more targeted, the bloggers that get the campaigns will be paid more than usual due to their niche. We’ve run several campaigns before that only target Female bloggers, or some that only run on Malay language or Chinese Language blogs, for example.. And of course, Advertlets Titan bloggers will be prioritized for inclusion.

FYI: This is also a good time to install some of the larger ad formats, eg 336×280 or 728×90. Let your blogger friends know too if you think they can benefit from this Happy blogging, and have a great weekend!

This Wednesday: The Cool List 40 @ Zouk, Hannah Tan’s Farewell @ Somo

This Wednesday (10 Dec 2008), there are two events really worth checking out. I can’t decide, so I’m going for both… (I know, its going to be mad as there is an overlap in times…)

The Juice Cool List 40 Revealed at Phuture, Zouk KL.

Contact info@advertlets.com or 0123995674 if you need invites.

The following Advertlets bloggers will be there, as they are part of the Cool List 40! Click their pictures for their profile on the site. Descriptions are taken from the Juice Online website.

Joyce Wong: celebrity blogger / party monster / tongue in chic managing editor. KinkyBlueFairy’s fame was inevitable. You would think she had it easy as a kid, but Joyce Wong aka KinkyBlueFairy didn’t have a life until she was 16 proclaiming herself a geek with no hobbies…

Amanda Choe: blogger / straight talker / girl about town. As long as you live in this country and know what the internet is (hello?), you have probably caught wind of one Miss Amanda Choe. The 19-year-old blogger’s blogspot, theoppositeofchocolate gets an average of 4,000 returning visitors and 2,000 unique visitors daily….

We’ll also like to give our props to rapper Jin Hackman, as not only is he a talented rapper, he did his internship at Advertlets

rap spitter / hip hop hard hitter / “jin”-ius at work. Jin Hackman is a by-product of this new era. Writing rhyme and spitting rap Jin Hackman’s battle ready punch lines could rival even Eminem’s pre-Shady days…

And later in the night…

Hannah Tan’s Farewell / H-Factor Wrapup Party

And of course, you know Hannah Tan from the H-Factor Campaign we ran recently on Advertlets. She’s leaving to Japan indefinitely to pursue her career there…why not drop by for her star studded farewell?

Hope to see you there!
